GENTLEMEN OF FROSTBURG AMI
VICINITY:
To-day, Or perhaps next week, ne
cessity may compel you to purchase
clothing for yourself Or boys.
If so, you want to buy the best
goods for the least money.
Without the slightest fear as to
the results my door stands wide open,
cordially inviting you to give the
stock within a critical examination.
If the garments in this store do
not measure up to your standard of
merit in quality of make and style,
and the prices do not suit, there will
be no dissatisfaction on either side if
you do not buy.
But give me a chance to show my
goods, and | will see to it that they
meet any reasonable requirements.

Chapter Of Accidents.-A little
daughter of Lawrence Byrnes, re
siding III the town Of Eckhart, aged
three years, fell into boiling water
Friday of last week, fatally scalding
herself. She fingered in great suffer-
ing until next day when death ensued.
Joseph Mears, a nineteen-year old
son of Samuel Mears, residing at
Allegany mine, attempted to board
moving train at that place Saturday
afternoon, l4th inst. Missing his hold,
he fell between cars and his right leg
was cut off below the knee. Surgical
attention was promptly rendered and
the patient is doing well.
Mrs. Sophia Boettner, about 40 years
Of age, relict of Henry Boettner, de
ceased, was found dead at her home,
Borden mine, Sunday morning. She
was subject to convulsions, and it is
supposed she was stricken with one
during Saturday night and suffocated.
When found she was lying in bed face
downward.
Joseph Nimrod Myers, son of John
Myers. and son-in-law of William
Thomas, all of this place, met with u
serious misfortune Monday morning.
Mr.. Myers was engaged at shoveling
from the revolving pan, part of the
machinery for crushing and grinding
fire clay at the Savage Mountain
works. The pan reyolves one way,
the crushers run the opposite direc-
tion. By some mishap Nh. Myers fell
in the pan and his head, caught be-
tween the end Of roller and side Of
the pan, was on one side shockingly
crushed. Much apprehension was
felt by his friends Monday and Tues
day, but Wednesday some improve
mont was apparent. Yesterday he
was still improving. Mr.. Myers is an
estimable young man. We earnestly
trust he may recover.

cumstances, | appeal to you in the
interest of the party and its future to
remember that there are persons not
eligible to the rights of suffrage, owing
to their minority at this time, but who
are expected to swell the ranks some
day and perhaps fulfil the mission of
our party, yet these persons are COM
PEELED to remain silent because they
have no vote. There must be more
logic and facts produced before "the
boys are shut up" Every boy is
taxpayer as well as every man. The
Intelligence of the current generation
dlverts the youthful mind to the cause
of good government.
The republican party stretches its
hand forth as the one of liberty.
progress, humanity, and it has good
record. The day has gone by when
you had to be a republican or a demo-
crat because your father was of that
stripe. We cannot look at ancestry to
mature our minds, but must be pre-
pared to meet emergencies as they
arise. We could not expect our fore
fathers to lay down all rules to govern
ever! thing IN future, nor should they
have lcgislated for generations with
which they were not CONNECTED.
So it is with the present system. 1t
suited in its time. LET the past bury
its dead" Now is the time to har-
monize and work tor success. We are
on the eve of State and county elec-
ii ms, soon to be followed by the
presidential campaign. The result of
the only defeat is attributed by Hon.
James G. Blaine to the cause you have
assembled to rectify.
Wishing you God-speed and large,
enthusiastic meeting | remain faith
fully yours, HENRY JANDoRF.

FOR PRESENT NEEDS And URE
PROFIT.
FROsrBURG, MD., Nav II, 1857

FRosrBURG, MD., May II, 1887.
Mr. President and Republicdas asscnJlGd-
Gentlemen:
I regret exceedingly that urgent
business prevented my presence and
participation in your meeting.
[ address you not as q ''voter," but as
a subject of Tie country and one inter
ested in the future of the republican
party, believing that loyalty and
patriotism are better expressed and
exempliiied by attachment and de-
votion to the principles of that party.
As | understand, the object of this
meeting is to make our conventions
representative pro-rata to the number
of republican voters in each district.
Under the present system this is an
absolute impossibility.
| trust that any action taken on
your part tonight will be worthy Of
the true republicanism of the district
and will merit the consideration OF the
party at large in this county.
When we reflect upon the history of
past conventions it is evident that some
thing should be done to equalize repre-
sentation. The idea that fifty voters in
one district should have, and elect as
many delegates to a convention as five
hundred in another, is, not only absurd
but unjust. Yet those are the con-
ditions confronting you, to say nothing
of the Objectionable unit rule under
which it is notorious that one delegate
casts the vote of the entire delegation
from his district, thus making COM
bination Of districts the supreme law
of the party, and debarring the minor
ity of any privileges i'll the body and
the rights Of their prerogative.
1t seems the persons adverse to the
purpose of your meeting object on the
grounds that it Twill split the party"
but do these persons really oppose this
movement for the welfare of the party
or for their personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT ?
If the former is the result of their con-
clusions they should fear nothing, be-
cause am convinced that it will unite
and solidify the party; if the latter,
then there is cause for complaint on
their part.
Then the question naturally arises
is the party that so magnifcently
controlled this glorious country for
twenty-four years, becoming the tool
of few menu 1t would appear that
''the powers that be" ignore every
thing that is not in harmony with
their selfish designs. Under these cir

THE ESTABLISHED REPUTATION
OF a Prominent Business House.
FRosTBURG, MD., May 10, 1887.

FRosTBURG, Nh, May 10, 1887.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
When the clouds of war were about to
burst upon the country and destroy its tran
guilty, in 1858, Mr. Joseph Jandorf, then 80
years Of age arrived in this (then a smalD
town and began business in the Hartman"
building. With undaunted energy, success
crowned his efforts, compelling him in few
years to remove with larger stock and in
creased trade to the "Lapp" building-a
change followed closely by removal to the
"Steyer' building, where he remained until
1866, when he built the handsome and
spacious structure in which he has since re-
mained. With a vigor and popularity ever
increasing, his business rose to enormous
proportions when in 1876, the crisis which
brought the most conservative houses to ruin
involved the subject of this sketch in de-
plorable financial disaster. Mr.. Jandorf,
with honesty and integrity Of purpose, gave
up 'his all in the world'' to his creditors.
When the affairs of the insolvent estate were
settled, Mrs. Jandorf succeeded with the as
sistancc of her creditors in starting business
in her name. She began in the building
now occupied by Chambers grocery with Il
very small stock of millinery and other goods.
Industry and the necessity of maintaining
a large and growing family urged her to
sense of duty the result of which is un-
paralleled in the county. \ woman to take
out of the mire fallen soldier and by at
tention to her business and the wants of her
customers so stimulated her trade that the
room then occupied became too small, COM
pelling her to remove i'll 1879 to the mag
niiCent store room now packed with goods
from cellar to dome. In this connection it is
worth mentioning that Mrs. Jandorf bears
the reputation of being the most tasty and
careful purchaser of goods in the county.
She has been the leading introducer of fash
ions in all lines of Millinery Dry Goods,
Shoes Clothing, Neckwear, Cloaks Suits and
Underwear, and everything tending to make
up q Metropolitan Store. Mrs. J. has Just
returned from New York after purchasing the
latest novelties in all lines of her immense
stock. Expectations for doing business this
season are bright. With the assistance Of
her sons, Henry and Julius, and daughters,
Clara and Martha, the store will be renovated,
old prices "knocked OUT and thorough
business administration reign. The firm
guarantees satisfaction in every respect.
THE best goods for the least money" is the
motto of this celebrated house.

"Chudren's Day."-The Nj. E.
Church, South, was filled to its utmost
capacity last Sunday evening, the
occasion being the special "Children's
Day" services.
The church vas handsomely dec
grated. The chandelier in the centre
was wreathed with pine, laurel and
flowers. On the sides of the pulpit
were wreaths enclosing respectively a
beautiful floral anchor and cross.
Over the pulpit was an arch of ever
green and flowers bearing the word,
"Welcome," in gilt letters. The altar
rail and the space within were a bank
of flowers, and on the pulpit were four
large boquets.
AT 1870 the services began by sing
ing "Bear the Tidings" by the school.
There were also two recitations by
Edna Jeffries several beautiful and
appropriate hymns; responsive read
ings, by the school, led by w. H.
Davis, superintendent select readings,
"The Starless Crown by Miss Fannie
Jenkins, and "The Single Head of
Wheat" by Miss Annie Oder; an ad-
dress by Rev, j. NJ. Rollins, pastor.
A solo and chorus entitled "The
Teachers Dream" by Miss Fannie
Jenkins and a class of six little girls,
was an especial feature of the evening
and was we'll rendered.
Misses Laura Warn and Mollie
Burton presided at the organ.
The programme was finely rendered
and the audience left well pleased with
the services.

THE Baltimore Sun was fifty years
old Tuesday. Its founder still its pro-
prletor, the occasion was a rare one in
journalistic history, and so observed.
The Sun early caught the inspiration
and sleight Of thrift. In many in
stances it was the pioneer of progress
in the greatest field of American en-
terprise. While it distanced all CON
temporaries in numerous memorable
instances it furnished as many exem-
plary occasions for competitive adven
turc, which wrought great good far
beyond the circle of its own constituent
cy. The Sua has earned the hand

THE negotiations to settle the debt
of Virginia have failed. The creditors
want the State in partial payments,
the balance in instalments, interest
from date, and the United States as
security, the latter to be approved,
however, by the British kingdom.
Reputation appears to be the only
alternative-a bad resort, but not as
bad as wilful, deliberate, sneaking
case of modern boycot.
